Memory & Preferences

Skip learns how you like to meet from three sources: what you tell it directly, what you say in emails, and what it infers from your calendar. The Memory page shows a plain-language summary of everything Skip knows.

Memory

Find Memory under your personal settings sidebar. It shows a narrative summary of your scheduling preferences — timezone, working hours, meeting duration, availability, and any temporary changes like travel.

Updating your memory

Use the input field on the Memory page to tell Skip something new:

• “I prefer 30-minute meetings”
• “I’m traveling to Sydney next week”
• “No meetings on Fridays”
• “I’m on East Coast time this week”

One change at a time works best. You can also use the microphone to speak your preference.

Via email

Tell Skip your preferences in any scheduling email:

• “I prefer morning meetings”
• “I’m usually free after 2pm”
• “Keep my meetings under 30 minutes when possible”

Skip remembers these and applies them to future scheduling.

Automatic updates

Skip also infers preferences from your calendar patterns:

• Your timezone from your calendar settings
• Your typical meeting duration from event history
• Times you rarely take meetings

Inferred preferences are used as soft guidelines. Anything you state explicitly always takes priority.

Temporary preferences

Set time-limited preferences for travel, projects, or schedule changes:

• “I’m focused on a project until March 15 — only schedule urgent meetings”
• “Block my mornings for the next two weeks”
• “No meetings next week while I’m traveling”

These are set the same way as any other preference — type them into the Memory input or mention them in an email to Skip. Temporary preferences have a start and end date and your regular preferences resume automatically.

Preferences page

The Preferences page contains structured settings that control how Skip schedules and follows up:

• Allow scheduling over calendar holds — Let Skip book over flexible blocks like focus time and reminders when availability is tight
• Include email thread in calendar events — Add the email conversation to the calendar event description
• Follow-up attempts — How many follow-up emails to send when participants don’t respond (0–3)
• Post-meeting follow-ups — Receive a check-in after meetings to schedule follow-ups

These settings auto-save when toggled.

Tips

• Start broad, refine over time — Set basic working hours first, then add specific constraints as needed
• Be explicit about hard constraints — “Never on Fridays” is clearer than occasional declines
• Use temporary preferences for short-term changes — Don’t change your permanent preferences for a one-week trip
